FUE micromotor handpiece

A console with an electric or pneumatic motor and a foot-pedal control that rotates or oscillates, at an adjustable speed, the follicular extraction punch mounted on the handpiece.

How it is used

Used in hair transplantation to drive the punch during follicular unit extraction (FUE), replacing manual punch rotation with continuous motorized motion that reduces surgeon fatigue during long procedures.

Clinical tip

Allows adjustment of speed (rpm), rotation mode (rotary, oscillating, or combined), and depth according to hair type; incorrect settings increase the risk of follicular transection compared with manual extraction.
